Pop singer Slayyyter apologizes as old racist tweets from her deactivated Camila Cabello fan account resurface

Pop artist Slayyyter (Catherine Slater) apologized for her past usage of racial slurs on her previously deactivated Twitter account, after old offensive tweets resurfaced on social media this week.

"I am sorry for letting you down," She wrote. "I am sorry for all those appalling tweets. 7-8 years ago I had a One Direction/Fifth Harmony 'sass' account ... I was extremely annoying and cringey and would use slurs and say other things online because I thought I was being funny or edgy."

She added, "As I matured I realized it's never funny or cool to use those words under any circumstances. Very shortly after this period of time, I realized the way I was tweeting was disgusting and ignorant and I stopped."

She said she had grown and 'changed so much' since then, as the tweets were written when she was 15. "Eight years is a lot of time to reflect, grow, mature and better know yourself as a human being," she wrote, adding that being uneducated and young is never an excuse to use hate speech."

"I hate myself a lot more than any of you could ever hate me right now. i don't know how to make this up to any of you but i'm really sorry," she wrote in another tweet.

Earlier, this week, tweets from 2012 shared by a Twitter user, @camilkacowbello, emerged on social media, and were revealed to be from an old account used by a young Slayyyter, before she became a pop artist. The tweets showed liberal use of the n-word, among other forms of hate speech. The account has now been deactivated.

The old account was a fan account for pop star Camila Cabello, who recently issued her own apology for racist slurs.
